I thought the same thing but there was quite a fuss about 5 days ago when [Foreign Secretary] Raab launched the £75m ‘airlift plan’. My jaw dropped when figures such as 9000 stranded in NZ, 4000 in Bali were bandied about in national news stories. So, keeping on thread, repatriation would be a big motivator for air travel but it would seem bulk of traffic via airlift plan would be on charter 9xxxx BA flights and not the regular services this thread is attempting to track. [correct me if wrong!]
